Palma is packed with culinary options and there is something for every palate. From charming cafés in the old town to trendy spots in Santa Catalina and elegant dining rooms in La Lonja, Mallorca's capital offers an impressive variety of restaurants. Whether you are looking for authentic Mallorcan food or international cuisine, we've compiled the best addresses for you.
Restaurants in Palma's Old Town
Palma's old town not only offers impressive architecture and history but also numerous top-notch restaurants. Visit places like 'De Tokio a Lima' to experience a fusion of Japanese and Peruvian cuisine. For wine lovers, 'La Malvasía' is a must — enjoy local white wines in a tranquil atmosphere under a large fig tree on the Plaza del Mercat. If you like traditional Spanish tapas, stop by 'El Camino', where classic flavors meet a modern ambiance.
Santa Catalina: The Heart of Eating and Drinking
Santa Catalina is a lively neighborhood famed for its food scene, with everything from informal tapas bars to innovative restaurants. Visit 'De Tokio a Lima' for a Japanese-Peruvian fusion, and 'La Malvasía' for a relaxed wine experience. For classic tapas with a contemporary twist, 'El Camino' is a popular choice. The area buzzes with markets, bars and cafés that make it a must for food lovers.
La Lonja: Historic Charm with Gourmet Options
'La Lonja' is known for its charming historic buildings and a wide selection of upscale restaurants. 'Ocho Kitchen' combines Scandinavian design with Mediterranean cuisine — all served in a lovingly restored town villa dating from 1890. For lovers of Italian cuisine, 'Ritzi Palma' in the BO Hotel offers an elegant setting and authentic pasta dishes. If you prefer tapas, the popular 'Forn de Sant Joan' is a must-visit.
Lunch in Palma: The Best Spots for a Break
'La Malvasía' invites you to enjoy local specialties at midday under a shade-giving fig tree on the Plaza del Mercat. For sushi fans, 'Kaizen', run by talented chefs with Michelin experience, is a mysterious highlight in the Santa Eulalia district. Another must is the stylish 'Maria 5 Urban', perfect for a pause in the city center.
Terraces with a View: Outdoor Dining in Palma
'SkyNudos' offers breathtaking views from its rooftop restaurant next to the Moll Vell harbor — ideal for sushi lovers or fans of grilled seafood. 'De Tokio a Lima' also impresses with views over Palma's elegant Borne Avenue. For a relaxed gourmet experience right by the sea, we recommend the luxurious setting of 'Purobeach Palma'. The sunsets here make every dish more delicious.
Hidden Gems: Insider Tips in Palma's Dining Scene
'Bondo Cocina', tucked away in La Lonja, surprises with lovingly prepared tapas made from high-quality regional ingredients. Another recommendation is the unique 'Toque de Queda', a former bakery from the 15th century now transformed into a cozy tapas bar with an unusual atmosphere.
High-End Dining: Luxury Restaurants in Palma
'Marc Fosh', Palma's Michelin-starred restaurant par excellence, delights with its innovative menus and elegant atmosphere in the city center. In the historic Jewish quarter, guests can enjoy Santi Taura's restaurant 'DINS', where traditional Mallorcan recipes are reinterpreted.
Seafood & Fish: Enjoy Fresh Seafood
'Caballito de Mar' has been known for years for its excellent fish dishes in the heart of La Lonja — their grilled octopus dishes are legendary. Also located right on the water, 'Pesquero' offers fresh-caught seafood and a relaxed harbor atmosphere.
Vegan & Vegetarisch: Pflanzlich essen in Palma
'Mouna' überzeugt mit kreativen veganen Gerichten aus lokalen Bio-Zutaten direkt im Stadtzentrum von Palma. Ein weiteres Highlight ist das charmante Restaurant 'Temple Natura', dessen ruhiger Garten für entspannte Mahlzeiten sorgt.
